Assessment Strategy
      1. Assessment System Overview:
            ●   Batches assigned to the assessment agencies for conducting the assessment on SIP or email
            ●   Assessment agencies send the assessment confirmation to VTP/TC looping SSC
            ●   Assessment agency deploys the ToA certified Assessor for executing the assessment
            ●   SSC monitors the assessment process & records
      2. Testing Environment – The assessor should:
            ●   Confirm that the centre is available at the same address as mentioned on SDMS or SIP
            ●   Check the duration of the training.
            ●   Check the Assessment Start and End time to be as 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.
            ●   If the batch size is more than 30, then there should be 2 Assessors.
            ●   Check that the allotted time to the candidates to complete Theory & Practical Assessment is
                correct.
            ●   Check the mode of assessment—Online (TAB/Computer) or Offline (OMR/PP).
            ●   Confirm the number of TABs on the ground are correct to execute the Assessment smoothly.
            ●   Check the availability of the Lab Equipment for the particular Job Role.
      3. Assessment Quality Assurance levels/Framework:
            ●   Question papers are created by the Subject Matter Experts (SME)
            ●   Question papers created by the SME are verified by the other subject Matter Experts
            ●   Questions are mapped with NOS and PC
            ●   Question papers are prepared considering that level 1 to 3 are for the unskilled & semi-skilled
                individuals, and level 4 and above are for the skilled, supervisor & higher management
            ●   Assessor must be ToA certified & trainer must be ToT Certified
            ●   Assessment agency must follow the assessment guidelines to conduct the assessment
      4.   Types of evidence or evidence-gathering protocol:
             ● Time-stamped & geotagged reporting of the assessor from assessment location
             ● Centre photographs with signboards and scheme specific branding
             ● Biometric or manual attendance sheet (stamped by TP) of the trainees during the training pe-
                riod
             ● Time-stamped & geotagged assessment (Theory + Viva + Practical) photographs & videos
      5.   Method of verification or validation:
            ● Surprise visit to the assessment location
            ● Random audit of the batch
            ● Random audit of any candidate
      6.   Method for assessment documentation, archiving, and access
            ● Hard copies of the documents are stored
            ● Soft copies of the documents & photographs of the assessment are uploaded/accessed from
               Cloud Storage
            ● Soft copies of the documents & photographs of the assessment are stored in the Hard Drives
